Pi Sigma Alpha hosts a concert to benefit the homeless. The concert features music from TIDE and Matt Leigh performing with a special guest. TIDE is an acoustic rock, grunge band inspired by musicians such as Neil Young, Pearl Jam and Bob Dylan. Matt Leigh performs contemporary jazz, deriving inspiration from Wayman Tisdale, Victor Wooten and Dexter Gordon. Raffle prizes will be given away between sets. Free food available.

Show your support for your fellow citizens. Bring canned goods or nonperishable food items which will be donated to food banks and enjoy great music and free food.

According to a recent New York Times article, in Fresno,CA, which has a population of about 500,000, there are as many as 2,000 homeless people. This means that for every thousand people living in Fresno, there are at least four that are homeless. The article notes, “Makeshift tent cities stir memories of shantytowns of the Depression”. Many people across the nation are suffering and losing their jobs and homes due to this economic crisis. Join us at the concert to help those in need.
